UXON Competition Format and Game Rules
Competition Format
We’re excited for the final University Outdoor event of the year as well as the UKUUC Awards night, all taking place at University Mixed Outdoor Nationals 2023.
This year, we will be using a swiss draw format for the schedule. This means that teams will be given ranking points after every game based on the score, and the ranking of the other team. Rather than playing pool games on Saturday and bracket games on Sunday, every team will play 3 swiss ranking games on Saturday after which teams will be split into the top 16 and bottom 18 for games on Sunday. Teams will play 2 more swiss ranking games on Sunday before playing a final placement game to determine the final standings (e.g. the 1st and 2nd ranked team will play to determine who finishes first).
The seedings for the tournament are as follows:
1 Sheffield 1
2 Loughborough 1
3 Bristol 1
4 Leeds 1
5 Bath 1
6 Durham 1
7 Birmingham 1
8 Cardiff 1
9 Lancaster 1
10 Warwick 1
11 Imperial 1
12 Newcastle 1
13 Edinburgh 1
14 Surrey 1
15 Southampton 1
16 UEA 1
17 Nottingham 1
18 Exeter 1
19 St Andrews 1
20 Manchester 1
21 Durham 2
22 UCL 1
23 Cambridge 1
24 Leeds 2
25 Sheffield 2
26 Brunel 1
27 Oxford 1
28 Exeter 2
29 Warwick 2
30 York 1
31 Durham 3
32 Plymouth 1
33 Leicester 1
34 Cranfield 1
We will split teams into two groups for the swiss ranking games on Saturday, with Group A (Odd numbered seeds and seed 18) playing in rounds 1, 3 and 5 at 09:30-10:40, 12:20-13:30, and 15:10-16:20. Group B (Even numbered seeds except seed 18) will play in rounds 2, 4 and 6 at 10:55-12:05, 13:45-14:55, and 16:34-17:45.

Please bear in mind that this schedule remains subject to change if teams are forced to withdraw, and if their withdrawal has a substantial impact on the schedule for one or more other teams.
Information and Game Rules for participants (the “info pack”) is on the event page: UXON
Membership
ALL PLAYERS at UXON need Full UKU Membership. Club admins can check the membership status of your players by logging into JustGo and going to “Club Members”.
Student ID
All university teams should remind all your players to have their student ID card with them at the event too as random checks will be carried out.
Rosters
All the teams must make sure that their team rosters are up to date on JustGo BEFORE Saturday morning. We know that it might have been a while since some teams last used the JustGo system, so here’s a quick recap on how our roster checks work.
On Saturday morning we’ll take a report from JustGo which will give us a list of all players rostered to a team entered into the event. We’ll then run a check on this report to identify any players who don’t hold FULL UKU MEMBERSHIP.
What do you need to do?
You need a club administrator to login to JustGo and click on “team profiles” in the menu. Then select the correct team (i.e the team that was actually entered into the event) using the blue box on the left. Now click on “team members” followed by “add members” and just select the players who are playing with the team this weekend. Click done and you’re finished.
If you run into any issues, please email admin@ukultimate.com.
Good luck this weekend to everyone!
